When I got the invitation to Mel B.'s charity shoe design workshop for ShoeDazzle.com, I knew I couldn't pass it up. After all, Posh shouldn't be the only former Spice Girl who gets to be a fashion designer! The chic mom chose an organization close to her heart, the L.A. Children's Hospital and Ronald McDonald House, to receive 100% of the profits from her shoe's proceeds.
I arrived just in time to join a group of press in the Teen Lounge of the L.A. Children's Hospital, and my eyes immediately went to Mel B. The celeb was radiant in a body-hugging mini and killer nude platforms. Young teens from the hospital had gathered around Mel and piped in with their design input. One girl after my own heart suggested a smattering of rhinestones on the heel, and one thoughtful young man mentioned the shoe should be cushioned on the inside so their feet don't hurt. A sparkly stiletto that's comfortable too? You can sign me up now.
After everyone put in their two cents, the final sketch revealed, "a classic shoe that will go with anything." The jewel-studded nude number is so versatile that, "You can wear them with jeans or with a red carpet hot dress," said Mel. And when questioned about the shoe's towering height, the superstar replied, "It's got to be a high shoe. Every girl looks better in heels and they're gonna' make your legs look fab." When we receive our pair from ShoeDazzle.com in March, we're going to hold you to that, Mel!
